Title: Testing PIR sensor sensitivity

The effects of tuning the sensitivity of the PIR sensor between three different levels which is low, medium and maximum.

WEEK 12

Title: Measure output of Solar Panel

Measure the voltage open circuit and current short circuit of solar panel

WEEK 11

Title: Using solar power as power supply raspberry pi

The term solar panel is used colloquially for a photo-voltaic (PV) module. 

A PV module is a photovoltaic cell assembly 

that is assembled for installation in a frame work. 

Photovoltaic cells use sunlight as energy 

source and produce electricity from direct current. 

A selection of PV modules is called a 

PV panel, and an Array is a Panels program. 

Photovoltaic network arrays provide 

electrical devices with solar electricity.

To archive complete solar power supply i need solar panel, charger controller and rechargeable battery.

WEEK 10

Title: Coding the program using python

Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991.

It is used for:

• web development (server-side),
• software development,
• mathematics,
• system scripting.

What can Python do?

• Python can be used on a server to create web applications.
• Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.
• Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files.
• Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics.
• Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development.

Why Python?

• Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
• Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
• Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages.
• Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
• Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-orientated way or a functional way

 and when have movement intruder will show.

and send the image to my gmail.

WEEK 9

Title: Study more about PIR sensor

PIR sensor are capable of detecting tiny variations in infrared. Whenever an object moves through the range of the sensor, due to the friction between air and material, it creates infrarot and is captured by PIR.

PIR sensor's main component is pyroelectric sensor shown in figure (rectangular crystal behind the plastic cap). Along with this, some resistors, capacitors and other components used to create PIR sensors were BISS0001 ("Micro Control PIR Motion Detector IC."). BISS0001 IC takes the sensor input and processes the output pin appropriately HIGH or LOW.

Switch the clockwise rotation of the Distance Adjustment Potentiometer, increase the sensing distance (about 7 metres), thus reducing the sensing distance (about 3 metres).

Switch the clockwise rotation sensor Time delay potentiometer to the delay lengthened (600S, 10 minutes), shorten the delay (0.3 seconds) on the opposite side.

WEEK 8

Title : Install and Program PI camera on raspberry pi

To attach the Pi Camera, insert the Pi Camera Ribbon cable into the camera port, raise the connector tabs at the RPi board slightly up and insert the Ribbon cable into the port, then gently move the tabs down again to repair the ribbon cable.

Then enable the camera on raspberry pi at the raspberry pi configuration.

Then user needs to uninstall Raspberry Pi, by rebooting sudo, so that new configuration can take place.

Use this command to reboot: $ sudo rebot
